Rajasthan Royals will host Punjab Kings in match No. 8 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday. IPL 2022 finalists Royals are coming into this ‘home’ clash on the back of a massive 72-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their opening match last week and a win on Wednesday night will take them back to the top of the IPL 2023 Points Table.
Shikhar Dhawan’s PBKS also started off their IPL 2023 campaign with a win in rain-hit tie against Kolkata Knight Riders. They will look to keep their winning run going as they travel eastwards for this clash.
Sanju Samson’s side ticked off most of the boxes with a whirlwind start from their opening Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler in the opener followed by a brilliant half-century by their skipper as well. The Royals also hold the edge in the head-to-head ties between both the sides, having won 14 out of the 24 matches between the two sides.
PBKS, on the other hand, will be boosted by the arrival of Kagiso Rabada who will be expected to take the new ball with Arshdeep Singh.
